Search results with sub headers for post types found

  • I’m trying to customize the search results list as follows:

    n results found
    —–
    n pages
    Page title 1
    Page title 2
    etc.
    —–
    n posts
    Post title 1
    Post title 2
    etc.
    –––––
    n [custom post type name]
    Post type title 1
    etc.

    How would I achieve something like this?

    (and ideally I’d like to customize the sort order of the post types but let’s first concentrate on the above issue)

  • If you filter the search query, you could add a SQL clause to group by post type.

    How would I do that? I’m not really a PHP guy, much less proficient in MySQL. My current WP_Query looks like this:

    $search_query = new WP_Query(array(
		's' => get_search_query(),
		'orderby' => 'type',
		'posts_per_page' => -1
	));

    I was looking for a plugin to do what you want and found this one:

    Its name is now Ivory Search and doesn’t match the original slug. It might do what you need.
